I'm proud to announce that the first stable release for the 0.3 series of NSsbackup is out. Thanks to all who contributed to this release with coding, sending patches, testing, reporting bugs and translating!
This stable release with version 0.3.0 adds some very interesting features and is ready for daily use. Most notable enhancements are: * implementation of a status application which presents information of running backups such as backup size, progress and estimated remaining time * implementation of a GIO/GVFS backend for access of remote targets (currently supported is FTP, SFTP, SSH, NFS) * notification window in case of not found target: you can directly retry to use the specified target after mounting an external disk (good for creation of backups stored on external disk that might not be plugged in) See the changelog on the download page for more information. Known issues - There are a few known issues in NSsbackup 0.3.0: * in order to use secure remote targets (SFTP, SSH via GIO) you'll have to add the remote machine to your trusted machines first (see https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+faqs) * due to default security settings it is not possible to create backups at remote destinations which are split into several chunks when running as superuser (root) using the GIO backend * when upgrading snapshots in old Simple Backup format (1.4 and older) it is not recommended to use these as base for successive snapshots. Make a full snapshot instead. * No Help available on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy (due to use of Mallard) Have fun.
